Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho has officially signed a deal with American sportswear giants Nike.
Garnacho has been instrumental in United's U18s reaching the FA Youth Cup final this season. The teenage forward has scored five goals throughout the competition and his strong performances were rewarded with a shock call up to Argentina's national side.
The academy star, 17, has trained with United's first team this week and he'll now exclusively wear Nike boots in future sessions. That's because Garnacho confirmed on Wednesday night he had signed a deal to become the latest Nike Athlete at United.

"Happy and proud to join the best brand in the world Nike," Garnacho wrote on social media.
Garnacho was born in Spain and signed for United from Atletico Madrid two years ago. The youngster represented the nation at Under-18 level, but Garnacho is eligible to play Argentina through his mother and he recently switched allegiances.
The youngster trained with Lionel Messi during the international break and he's now had the chance to train with Ronaldo, who also wears Nike boots.
Garnacho will be hoping to inspire United to their first FA Youth Cup success since 2011 later this month.
